Render this: SSS
-
Great idea, I was wondering how to achive realistic flesh using sss, what render engines are you guys using, V-ray I assume?
-
great topic! i'll give it a go tomorrow. remus that looks very nice indeed. thanks for sharing your lighting setup and everything solo, we all learn from it!
looks like an alien jelly bean surprise!raduteo....pete is using vue and remus is using indigo while i'll be using twilight.

hi SOlo - I'm running away from this as fast as my wee legs can carry me!!!!
PS - those renders are amazing guys

Just a very quick test with Maxwell 2.0 Standard SSS Honey material for the box and a concentric steel for the ball with physical sky.

I like translucent materials.

Guys these are looking great, I encourage everyone to try, and feel free to ask if you need help.
This one is a beach ball inside some sort of plastic material

Tropical Frog inside alien snake.

Here is yet another called...
Volcano in frosted glass
And I'm not sure what this is but a great paper weight it would make.
-
cool, where did you get the volcano?
-
It's a texture, a Vue texture.
-
You might have a future in this kinda thing (ha!)
great job and a fun learning tool.
thanks solo!

Pete, I just want to print those images and hang them on my walls! They're renderlicious!
Best.Render.Challenge.Ever. Just 2 materials on 1 simple object help keep things fun.

Fun challenge! Here's my try. Multi-color SSS with smoked glass.
-
I'm bent over ready for an arse kicking!!!! Twilight with on an easy medium.
-
When I saw some of the images I just had a crack at it - couldnt believe it when it came out and it wsnt black - where do you guys get all the fabulous materials and how do you store them (what format)

Dermot and Tallguy, nice job rendering, although you are lacking any visible sub surface scattering. The idea behind the thread was to display your favorite render engines ability to perform a SSS (subsurface scatter), which is namely the scattering of light below the surface of a material. Light will usually either pass through an object completely (transparency), pass through and bend (refraction), bounce off (reflection), or absorb (sub surface scattering). SSS is dependent upon the physical density of an object and it physical rate of light absorption. Things in the physical world that exhibit this behavior are wax, soap, skin, milk, plastic, etc. If you notice in all of Solo's renders, you can vaguely see where the light has passed through the outer cube and shown a hint of the sphere within.
It looks like you guys are using Twilight. Try using a SSS template with your materials and use spot lights or emitter lights instead of the physical sky. This will give a concentrated light source which the render engine can use to glean enough direct light bounces to perform the SSS.
Here's a quick test with Fryrender....emitter within SSS.

Next time you ignore kitty, the dog will pay.

THanks obviously I am way off track here. I will try to figure out the SSS system using kerkythea.
Thanks for pointing it out to me. I'm still not sure how to do it but I will try and figure out.
Oh well sorry to clog the thread.
